Were the non-adhesive type Mylar rings stock on any OEM games? I have a Gottlieb Buccaneer sample that was mostly home use that has them on. They are very dirty and I’ve considered removing and replacing them until I read the comments above. Now I wonder if they should even be there.

Is there a way to remove the non-adhesive Mylar rings without completely removing the pop bumper body from the playfield?

I guess what I was really asking is if it’s tough to completely remove them without removing the pop bumper, not having done it before. I didn’t want to attack it if I was just going to make a mess. Are they usually just held in place by the two metal rods?

I’m also assuming that there is no sense in trying to save them to reuse them? It seems to me that with all the dirt that’s accumulated under them that even if I could clean them up, they are probably scratched up pretty good and would continue to wear the playfield. Again, another reason why I didn’t want to hack them up if I could reuse them especially after reading that the non-adhesive ones aren’t being made.

That’s great, Vic. I will be performing the surgery soon. Thank you!
